manufactured by Controlled Power Company.
2.2
Manufactured Units
A. The system shall be designed and manufactured to assure maximum reliability, serviceability and performance. All
control devices and system electronics shall be accessible via the front inverter cabinet for rapid service or
replacement. The diagnostic monitor panel display shall be mounted on the front of the system for easy observation
of system status and battery condition. The system is to be furnished with an internally located AC input circuit
breaker and up to 12 output circuit breakers as specified. The battery and DC conductors shall be DC circuit breaker
protected. All conductors and transformer windings shall be copper constructed. The installed system shall be floor
mounted and wall secured, constructed of steel, with the inverter controls, bypass, and breakers being front
accessible through a hinged door, requiring a hand tool for access. The installed inverter cabinet shall be designed
to meet NEMA 2 standards, rated for indoor use. Cabinet dimensions shall not exceed (22” W x 12”D x 40”H) (22”
W x 12”D x 50”H) (22” W x 12”D x 74.5”H).
B. The system shall operate in accordance with requirements as specified herein to support any combination of
fluorescent ballast fixtures, incandescent lamps, electronic and high power factor fluorescent ballasts, LED or HID
fixtures or other approved loads up to the rating of the system. “Normally on” and “Normally off” AC output bus
shall be 100% rated and limited only by the system’s maximum KW output rating.
C. Normal Operation: The load is supplied with regulated power derived from the normal AC power input terminals
through the rectifier charger and inverter. The rectifier charger shall be fully rated to charge the batteries and supply
sufficient DC energy for the inverter when under full load. The battery shall be connected in parallel with the
rectifier charger output.
D. Uninterrupted Emergency Operation: Upon the failure or unacceptable deviation of commercial AC power, energy
will be supplied by the battery through the inverter and continue to supply power to the load without switching loss
or disturbance. When power is restored at the AC input terminals of the system, the rectifier charger shall continue
to supply power to the load through the inverter and simultaneously recharge the batteries. There shall be no break
or interruption of power to the load upon failure or restoration of the commercial AC power.
E. Standby Emergency Operation: Upon the failure or unacceptable deviation of commercial AC power or upon a
remote input “command on signal”, the standby, normally off AC output section of the system shall become
energized, thus providing emergency power for standby lighting fixtures which are required to illuminate only in the
event of emergency. User-adjustable settings shall include transfer on delay time (0 to 8 seconds), transfer off delay
time (0 to 15 minutes), and a soft start control (0 to 172 cycles) to accommodate the high inrush current associated
with energizing normally off emergency lights, compatible with various lighting types and manufacturers.
F.
Automatic Bypass Operation: The system shall include a high speed automatic bypass for fault clearing, for
instantaneous overload conditions and/or to connect the load to the normal utility source in the event of a system
rectifier charger or inverter failure.
G. Manual Bypass Switch: The system shall include an integral inverter bypass switch for use in case of an inverter
failure. The switch shall be accessible via the front of the inverter enclosure, through a hinged door, requiring a
hand tool for access. When in the bypass position, the switch shall bypass the inverter power control electronics and
divert utility power to the inverter’s normally on output bus.
